Smoke screen for Umtiti
First thought, hell no.
Second thought, put that money on a CB and LB.
Third thought, overrated and overvalued accordingly.
Fourth thought, would I say no to a hypothetical straight swap with Lacazette?
Think my answer to that question is actually yes, if it leaves budget for the CB and LB. And if we at least shift Mkhi.
He can slot on the left, with a different skillset than Pepe, is very good (if not €100m+ class good) and has a great shot on him. He's also younger.
Don't think this will happen though and I won't be happy if this means no CB.
Surely this isn't happening.. love to see those Liverpool wankers with Coutinho in our side though.
If we are upgrading Özil with Coutinho could be great, can Ceballos work in a midfield 3 behind Coutinho?
I prefer we get Tierney and CB in than spend 20M loan on Coutinho we already scored 100 goals last season and we'll bw even better having adding Ceballos and Pepe. Get 2 players to improve our back 4 to balance our team
The same guys who got us Ceballos , Pepe etc are the same guys who maybe interested in Coutinho despite media coverage of a 45m transfer budget. I would listen to opinions like yours only if after signing Pepe they were sacked.
We are fun of being too forward and making assertions with limited knowledge of the big picture or internal details. I prefer to give them the benefit of doubt and be optimistic even with equally limited information.
We need to be spoilt for choice with top talent to be able to win the top honours when you look at the level of competition around us.
Not all business is out here on the media and it is not rocket science to think there may be talks about a possible exit or the club is planning to ship out a few faces as we speak.
I am not worried about the defence. With the way we are doing business now I am confident we would strengthen.
Again after analysing last season without the emotional drivers we were let down by our inability to dominate games , score goals and control the game. It was not all about a weak defence.
Ceballos often played DM for Betis so I don’t think there’ll be any problems fitting him in with Coutinho.
I reckon that a front three of Coutinho - PEA/Laca - Pepe would be filth though.
Lot of dribbling, pace and goals in there.
